IT’S hard out there for a professional athlete who gets no attention from the usually man-hungry ladies at Clifton, N.J., nightspot The Bliss Club. Sources say New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress insulted female patrons there and “left the club without paying his $2,000 tab.”

It seemed that Burress was upset Wednesday night because “no women were paying any attention to him.”

Spies at Bliss told Page Six Burress came in at around 11 p.m., but stayed only about 90 minutes. While he lounged at the VIP table overlooking the dance floor, Burress and his crew “kept the cocktail waitress running back and forth,” ordering “several rounds of Dom Perignon and Grey Goose.”

The worst offense? “He didn’t even tip his cocktail waitress,” said a source, who noted that Burress and his crew “were obviously on the prowl.” At one point, said the witness, Plaxico “got up from his VIP table and approached a group of girls at the bar.”

That’s when he propositioned a female patron out of the blue. “She just yelled back, ‘You’ve got the wrong girl,’ ” relates our witness. Burress was spotted storming out minutes later “without returning to his table or paying his tab.”

The NFLer, recently praised in the press for attending voluntary workouts during the Giants’ off-season, was also snubbing male fans at the club. Spies said he refused to sign the jersey of one who raced home to retrieve it when he learned Burress was there, hoping to get an autograph.

One club regular told us the place is often visited by major sports stars, including Yankees Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera and Burress’ fellow Giant star Brandon Jacobs. “I have never seen a professional athlete behave this way,” said the source.

The Bliss Club’s bottle-service host, Joe Martino, confirmed the $2,000 bill was not paid by Burress or anyone in his group.”

Via a rep for the Giants, Burress confirmed he was at the club, but denied walking out on his tab or propositioning anyone.
